"Hey everyone, it's me, 2015. I read all of your posts about the War On Drugs topping 2014 album of the year lists, and honestly I was a little weirded out by it too. So, here's a shitload of huge albums right up front to avoid that kind of situation again. Cool? Cool."

Re: Ty Segall

Of the 6 or so Ty Segall sets I've caught, the OSL set was the one I liked least, mostly because it took *him* (not the band, just him) a while to get into it. Something was just missing...perhaps it was nerves. But, it got going pretty good at the end when he started whipping out the killer jams from Melted and Lemons. Shame you missed that.

Re: Ty Segall

Saw them open up for Monotonix in Vancouver a year or so back. They put on a good show then... but were blown out of the water by Monotonix. Have they gotten that much better live?

EDIT: Not that they were bad. They weren't. They were pretty good actually, but they certainly were not amazing.

Well, Monotonix is way better. Ty Segall isn't AMAZING, but they're very good and I think they would be a good daytime act at Coachella. We need another "Greatest Scheduling Ever (Sunday Mojave 2009)" and they would be good to kick it off or play, say, when Fucked Up played.

It's undeniable that Montonix put on a better show... that's pretty much where it ends with that band though. I mean, do people actually listen to Monotonix records? Ty Segall's music is good outside of a live setting.

The mojave on Sunday of 09 was the greatest scheduling Coachella has ever done. No Age-> Fucked Up-> Brian Jonestown Massacre was perfect.

Fair enough.

Re: Ty Segall

Heh, I figured you were going to counter with "I listen to Monotonix' albums."

Hah. I liked their first EP when I first heard it... but their 2 albums werent very good. Didn't take away from the experience of their live set though.

Re: Ty Segall

I remember after Throbbing Gristle, Bryan, Patrick and I saw Damian (of Fucked Up), so we went to go talk to him and he gave us all hugs and thanked us for checking out their set.

NEVER FORGET.

But yeah, I could definately see Ty Segall as part of a killer noise/punk tent at Coachella next year.
